In this video, we can see a problem that affects diesel cars (not just the Kia Sportage) that have issues with regeneration. In fact, these cars have a problem where, during failed regenerations of the particulate filter, diesel contaminates the engine oil; in this way, the engine oil - which the YouTuber shows us to be well above the maximum level mark - ends up being "stretched" by the diesel and therefore loses its lubricating characteristics, causing serious damage to the engine.

It is therefore essential to carefully check the oil level and make frequent changes to avoid this problem.

How to Remove the Rear Seat of a Hyundai Tucson?

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
